Chloe was an absolute joy to work with for our wedding. Her communication was clear, fun and easy-going, making the entire process really enjoyable. The quality of her work is simply gorgeous - her compositions and use of color are stunning, and she provided great pose suggestions that resulted in beautiful, natural-looking photos. Chloe captured all the memories we wanted from our engagement shoot and wedding day, as well as so many special moments we didn't even have time to see on our big day.

Dave Moore Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,200
  • Serves Clayton, MO

Here’s a small confession: I’m not very comfortable in front of a camera. Oh I can take a decent self-portrait, but once someone else is taking my photo, everything falls apart: where do my arms go? Does my stance look normal? And oh no, was that smile natural? So if that happens to you when the camera comes out, no worries! I know how you feel.

Dave was fun to work with. My husband is usually very uncomfortable with getting his picture taken but Dave kept him at ease during our engagement shoot and on the wedding day. He was up for any suggestions but also had a lot of great unique ideas. I live in NY and Dave was flexible in scheduling the engagement shoots around mine and my husband’s travel plans. On the day of the wedding he instantly blended in with our family and friends which lead to amazing photos. I love my photos and highly recommend Dave Moore.

K.M. Goodson Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with on our wedding day. From the very beginning, their communication style was relatable, relaxing, and fun - it felt like we were working with a close friend rather than a vendor. On the day of, the photographer not only captured every beautiful detail with incredible skill, but also went above and beyond to ensure I was taken care of. They checked in with me throughout the day to make sure I was happy, fed, and on schedule. It was like having a best friend there to make sure my wedding day went exactly as planned.

We had the pleasure of working with Heidi for our wedding, and we couldn’t have been happier with our choice. From the initial consultation to the big day itself, Heidi was professional, personable, and incredibly talented. She captured every special moment with such an artistic eye and attention to detail. The way she managed to blend into the background while still getting those perfect candid shots was amazing. Our wedding album is a treasure trove of memories, beautifully edited and filled with shots that truly reflect the emotions and joy of the day. We especially loved how she made us feel comfortable and at ease in front of the camera, which is no small feat. Her patience and creativity really shone through, and we are beyond grateful for the stunning photos that we will cherish forever.

I created Emily Novara Photography, LLC because I believe that capturing the best day of your life deserves the same attention to detail that you put into planning it. I love meeting my couples, hearing all about their love stories, getting to know them - like truly getting to know them (most of my brides consider me one of their friends!). My brides trust I understand their vision and are able to enjoy their wedding day because of the communication leading up to it.

Emily is seriously amazing! We had an instant connection of trust and I knew our photos would be perfect. She was there for me through my entire planning process and helped guide me on any changes we needed. For our engagement photos, it was pouring rain and she had a backup plan asap. She makes the photos feel natural and nothing forced. For our wedding day, it rained yet again and Emily took charge of our wedding day. She creates a timeline for you. She was like my day of coordinator too! She came prepared with everything and anything you need. She made sure the day flowed as smooth as possible. Our wedding wouldn’t have been what it was, without her! We love Emily!!

My wife and I have and will continue to recommend her to everyone we know : )

Brooke did an absolutely amazing job! We did an engagement photoshoot with her months before our wedding date and it was very helpful in getting to know each other and how we work together, made the wedding day so much smoother! It is very obvious she has lots of experience in the wedding industry and is very professional. She did a great job at coming up with different poses and some of her ideas became my favorite photos. Wedding are stressful enough, but I never had to worry about my photos because I knew Brooke had it handled! Definitely recommend.

Lexi Harrington Photography

  • Classic style

  • Serves Clayton, MO

It's true what they say — when you know, you know. Something as special as that innate instinct to love and be loved by your person is art in itself. Keep the star-crossed feeling close with artfully directed storytelling photography designed to honor your love / your story / your wedding in all its authentic beauty. Let's hike a trail, drink cocktails on the roof, dance in a crowded street, let's capture your love for everything that it is. Let's do it all and make it as unforgettable as the moment you say, "I do!"

My wedding was a little atypical, we planned the entire thing in less than two months, had a crowd of 30 family members present, and had EVERYONE take an hour car trip into the National Park for our ceremony. The photographer who would capture all our wonderful memories was by far the most important vendor to me, so Lexi was the first person I booked! And thank goodness I did because I couldn’t have picked a more wonderful person to handle the uniqueness of our celebration than her. Lexi dealt with one date change, two location changes, and much more as my husband and I went through the decision making process in our short timeline. Lexi handled it all flawlessly, and showed up ready to help make our day special even in the middle of her own pregnancy! She traveled from states away, and made the Indiana Jones-esque drive into the mountains, to go above and beyond to shoot for us. Not only that but she got our preview out in less than 24 hours from the close of our reception, lightning speed! She was so kind and helped us feel comfortable and natural for two people who have never taken professional photos before. I would recommend anyone to Lexi for their wedding/elopement!

So who's the team behind the experience? Your Story is made up of 4 photographers, Jeremy + Melisa (owners of YS), Jason, and Emily. Together they quite simply love.capturing.the.moments.of.life. More than anything they enjoy the relationships they build with their wedding couples along the way. It's part of the reason why you see the hearts + souls of the people in their photographs. This is way more than a business to them, it's seeing inside the heart of their labor of love!

Jeremy & Melisa are TOP NOTCH. We highly, highly, highly recommend. Not only are our photos stunning (like seriously, we cannot stop looking at them) the customer service offered was incredible. They were easy to contact, quick to reply, readily accessible, incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. Our wedding package included engagement photos, which were equally as beautiful. Finding a wedding photographer that we 'clicked with' was the most difficult part of wedding planning for me - until I had my first phone call with Jeremy. I instantly felt comfortable, like I was talking to a friend. I'm trying to figure out what other events we could get photographed so we can see them again, lol (but seriously). HIRE THIS COMPANY! You will not be disappointed.

To say he went above and beyond is an understatement.

Hello. I’m Michayla Slone, a wedding + lifestyle photographer based in St. Louis, MO. I love traveling, my husband, my pup Rosie, and good conversations over coffee. I believe love is the most important thing. It’s what fuels us to our future, keeps us going on the bad days, and travels with us throughout time. My greatest joy is capturing days where love is at the forefront; where two people commit to a life full of passion and adventure. My work is more than just photography. It’s capturing history - your history.

We hired Michayla as our wedding photographer and still can’t fully express how happy we are with her and her work for both our engagement shoot and wedding photography! We are NOT the most natural people to photograph but Michayla helped us feel so natural and at ease both during our engagement shoot and on our wedding day. When doing family pictures she was so on top of it and made it such an efficient process which only made the day better as nobody was grumpy about standing around taking photos forever. We loved how she captured the “in between moments”, they are truly the ones we will cherish the most because we get to remember those fun little details of the day. We also had a second photographer as part of our package who happened to be Michayla’s husband Logan and he was just as easy to work with and only made the experience better! If your wedding is coming up and you need a photographer inquire with Michayla, she is incredible!

Hiring Kara as my photographer was one of the best choices I made about my wedding day. She is incredibly organized, focused, and efficient, and that was evident from our very first meeting. Leading up to our day I had plenty to stress over, but I never once had to worry about photography because I knew Kara was on top of it. She created a detailed wedding timeline that my day of coordinators utilized as well as all of my other vendors. She knew all the spots and poses to get my dream wedding photos, and even helped my videographer to capture amazing footage as well. She is an extremely talented photographer and I would absolutely recommend her for anyone's wedding.

I really enjoy being there to capture the most important day of people's lives. The reactions when I deliver their photos is priceless.

I cannot say enough words that would describe how thankful I am for Erik! From his welcoming and personable self while meeting at a bridal show, to our engagement session x 2, and our wedding day, Erik was nothing short of AMAZING! We took full advantage of Erik’s “no time limit” that he offers with his photography packages! Our wedding “prep” started the night before at our Welcome Party and continue through our New Year’s Eve wedding until 2am the following morning, and Erik was there for every moment! We also used Apex Studios for our videography, and the communication that Erik had with his 3 assistants ( 2 photo and 2 video) was phenomenal (my wedding planner commented on the communication, as well). Each and every detail that I could ever want is capture in a photo which I am so eternally grateful for! Thank you Erik for your welcoming, heartfelt, and kind self that made my wedding day more than I could have ever imagine! I’m so thankful for ALL that you did and will continuously recommend you to anyone that is looking for a photographer and/or videographer.
